Triple Threat

A billionaire's daughter becomes the target of a ruthless crime syndicate and a slick squad of assassins is sent to finish the job. In response, a ragtag group of mercenaries, led by Payu, steps into the breach to shield her at all costs. The outsiders marshal whatever weapons they can find and throw themselves into brutal confrontations with the professional killers, whose advance reveals a blend of stealth, speed and brute force. Long Fei, Jaka, and a handful of allies move to outsmart the elite team as the chase rattles through crowded streets, rooftops and hidden corridors. The result is a tight kinetic showdown that foregrounds skill, resolve and quick thinking over luck as the team fights through alleys and markets.
